My Table Lu Ten pretended to be paying proper attention to the ceremony taking place, but what he was really doing was watching his Aunt Ursa and his baby cousin Zuko. He was an old pro at pretending to do one thing and actually doing another. It was a survival skill, and one he had been forced to learn early, as the son of the Heir. In a way, he was looking forward to his father becoming Firelord - at least then he would have something to do during these endless pageants and displays.
Zuko’s plump face was starting to screw up, a sign of an oncoming scream that Ursa was doing everything she could to prevent without being obvious. Lu Ten could sympathize - sometimes he wanted to scream, too.
